Dev-C++ is an advanced, freely distributed integrated development environment for Windows, created by Bloodshed Software. It is based on the MinGW implementation of GCC. A similar IDE, Dev-Pascal, is available and works with both Free Pascal and GNU Pascal.
Perhaps the greatest feature of Dev-C++ for OSDev purposes is that it can be used with the Cygwin toolset as well as (or instead of) the MinGW one.
The last update to Dev-C++ from Bloodshed Software was made in 2005. However, in June 2011 Dev-C++ was forked by Orwell to continue its development and has since that time fixed several bugs and added new features.
There is also wxDev-C++, a Dev-C++ fork specifically targetted at users developing with the wxWidgets framework.
Using Cygwin with Dev-C++
It is possible to use a full (non minimalistic) GCC compiler with Dev-C++ by using Cygwin. To do this, one has to edit settings of the IDE.
Procedure:
- Go to Tools -> Compiler Options.
- Go to the Directories Tab, then add the appropriate Cygwin paths.
- You can use a custom Makefile by going to Project -> Project Options -> Select the Makefile Tab and replacing the Makefile.
